Evidence of dispensational tenets before 1800

The research sought evidence where dispensational ideas and tenets existed in the church history before John Darby who lived in the 1800's. This research was used as a basis to conduct interviews among the Dutch Reformed ministers in Pretoria in order to formulate a model that laymen or pastors could use in other parts of South Africa to promote dialogue, interaction and discussion with their local Dutch Reformed Church minister(s). 23 participants were interviewed. Coding codes were used to analyse the data by highlighting in diffrent colours or shades and thats how themes emerged.
